Chapter 4: Powerline Configuration Utility
The Powerline Configuration Utility is an additional tool that allows you to centrally
manage the powerline adapters that are connected to your network. Instead of using a
randomly generated key with the Sync button, the utility allows you to manually configure the
network name/security key for a single powerline adapter or multiple adapters simultaneously.
This tool allows for easy management for multiple powerline adapters in your network
.
Note:
1. Before installing and using the utility, write down the 16-digit Device Password (DPW) and MAC Address of
each TPL-401E powerline adapter as this will be required to apply changes to remote devices discovered
in the utility. This is located on the Device Label, please refer to Section 1.4.
2. Before installing and using the utility, make sure your computer in which you are installing the utility is
connected to your network and your TPL-401E adapters are also connected to your network.
3. Make sure all of the TPL-401E powerline adapters are already connected to each other using the
procedures in Chapter 2: Product Installation.
4. The utility is only compatible with Windows operating systems. For details, please refer to Section 1.3.
